...college campus of 1980, the expressed needs of students will have priority. Students will fashion their own curriculum, teach each other, study on their own up to a third of the time, and quit school, return or transfer at will. Scholars, predicts Lewis B. Mayhew, a professor of higher education at Stanford, will be paid well enough to spurn research grants and outside fees. They will thus finally be able to accept the idea that "their chief duty is to help young people change...
...speaker was neither Nanterre's Danny the Red nor Columbia's Mark Rudd, but the president of the uncontroversial American Association for Higher Education, Lewis B. Mayhew. University administrators who assume such concern, added Mayhew, are really to blame for much of the current student unrest. A professor of education at Stanford University, Mayhew told some 125 association members in Dallas last week that too many college officials ignore student rights, and that "behind every successful student outbreak stands some administrator who exercised discretion without legitimacy."

"Students," Mayhew concluded, "should have the power of self-determination over their private lives and the conduct of their own group-living...

He publicly deplored the inevitable subjection of Britain's forces to American foreign policy leadership...
Such dependence on the United States is Britain's nemesis. Even the Labour Government is reluctant to admit that the old "tunes of glory" are now faint, and so the White Paper re-affirms a traditional Eastern influence. But as Mayhew, pointed out, the new defense program might be too ambitious for Britain to finance. Both the Labour and Conservative Parties are divided by factions favoring total withdrawal, or else a reincarnation of British supremacy--in either case a position independent of America. Leaders Wilson and Heath will find it difficult to reconcile these sentiments and to formulate precise campaign...
